All Chapters of Love Beyond The Contract: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“Woah! Look who we have here! The one night stand opportunistic gold-digger and her supposed Billionaire husband on a date! Amazing, isn't it?” Olivia jeered at us, causing many people in the restaurant to glare at us. I felt irritated by the piercing gazes that jabbed at me and Liam. Liam seemed unfazed by Olivia's actions. He only stared intently at me and gave me a reassuring smile. Olivia grinned fiendishly, drawing closer to our table. She placed a palm on our table and leaned by it, facing Liam. Liam chose to ignore her, but she didn't relent. She placed her right palm on his cheek, caressing it softly to my chagrin and said, “Cmon, Mr lover boy! Don't you dare pretend you're innocent. Or should I tell them all the horrible things you did?” She taunted, with a wicked smirk. “Look Evie, you have to stop this! What exactly do you want from me? Money?” Liam asked in desperation , creeping up his cheek. “Oh come off it Mr CEO! I don't need your money anymore. I'm never a paupe

Gritting my teeth angrily, I steal a second glance at Olivia, with a cold icy look on my face. She looked away, as though intimidated by my intense gaze. It thrilled me to find her look that way. I wasn't done with her yet. I'd teach her a good lesson once we're out of this place.“Mr Liam, you may proceed to the dock,” the gentle looking courtier said, inviting me for the trial.I strode to the dock and sat, scrutinizing the people around me conspicuously. My eyes spotted another familiar face. Dr Howells, the doctor. Our family doctor! My heart froze. What is he here for?The judge commenced the trial at once.“Guilty or not guilty?” He asked, directing his gaze at me.“Not guilty,” I answered.“Do you have a defendant? Or should the court provide one for you?”“I have one, sir.”“Alright, he may proceed then,”Mr Dawson, my lawyer, came forward and stood where was expected of him. The judge fitted his glasses that fell at the roof of his nose properly and began the deal of the day.

Lisa's POV If there was anything I desired the most, it was to make Evelyn's life as miserable as possible. She never deserved anything good and shouldn't be allowed to enjoy a good life. I bet the arrogant and ruthless CEO she was forced to marry would do her more harm than good. As much as I never wanted Evelyn to know peace, I also wanted Lucas all to myself. I've succeeded in snatching him away from her, but now, I think he's gradually drifting away from me. He leaves for work as early as 7 am and doesn't return until midnight and even when he does, he reeks of whiskey mixed with an unfamiliar womanly scent, and sometimes, patches of lip gloss stains on his shirt and face. He now goes on unending business trips too often, claiming that it was due to his new position in the branch that was newly launched. Is he cheating on me? I've kept silent enough. I had to know what exactly is going on in my marriage. I won't let the strange woman snatch my husband away from me. Never! L

My eyelids parted open slowly, dazed by the dazzling light of the large chandelier that glowed above me. I flickered my eyelids in confusion, trying hard to recall the activities of last night and how I ended up all alone in this expensive-looking room. All I could remember was having a short conversation with the strange man that led us both to bed. Everything that happened afterwards was erased from my memory. Now I'm half-naked in the room, while my ripped clothes lie helplessly on the black and white checkered floor and there's no trace of him around, not even his scent. My mind trailed back to Lucas and how he cheated on me. I bit my lower lip in agony. The pain of it was still there. It still lingered probably because even after taking my revenge by having a good time with a stranger last night, it won't stop Lucas from going on with Darlene if he wanted and there was nothing I could do about it.Grabbing my bag from the bedside stool, I quickly reached for my phone to check u

As I drove my large travelling box effortlessly down the private jet, I reminisced over my life and how everything orchestrated for my good at last. I'm now living my dream life, draped with luxury and the most supportive partner I'd ever ask for. With Liam by my side, I'm sure I'd overcome all those at loggerheads with me. With Liam by my side, I'm certain my downtrodden career would make a comeback. With Liam by my side, we'd make a lovely family that would be the envy of others.Liam trooped out of the plane alongside with me, clutching at his own luggage while we alighted from the plane. His masculine features were sharp and irresistible as ever. His prominent well-sculpted jawline, complemented his moustache and beard perfectly, making him look like a Greek god. His piercing grey eyes looked as lovely as ever, giving me a reassuring feeling of security, each time I peered into them.“Welcome to Paris, baby!” Liam cheered me up, feigning a businesslike tone.“Thank you so much, hu
